This song came out about a month after my Mom died. I just bawled my eyes out when I first heard it and to be honest, it still makes me cry. Mom and I were close and she never made it any secret that she was proud of her daughter and friend. Martina McBride, who was born on July 29, 1966, same as me, is a singer I just love. She has a beautiful voice and an attitude in her music that is so much like mine. If it was my choice, I wouldn’t have picked a different voice to sing the song that so perfectly describes my relationship with my Mom. She was my hero and she let me know I made her happy.
In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong an' wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I wanna be, in my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.
An' when she wraps her hand around my finger,
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer.
I realise what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough;
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up.
I've seen the light: it's in my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future.
A reflection of who I am,
An' what will be.
An' though she'll grow an', some day, leave:
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see,
How happy she made me,
For I'll be there, in my daughter's eyes.
